The movie had an interesting concept marrying both VR and romance. Frankly it didnt involve much romance in my opinion. Mostly the fight and yearn to victory in corporate and virtual world.
The flashbacks editing are disappointing as it got confusing during many stages. I wondered many instances which phase of the movie are we at now.
The storyline didnt have to be sad. It didnt quite make sense as how a programmer is not able to rectify the game at the end before it was launched. Definitely utterly vague and unexplained later why were reality humans killed from the game and how?
